One bit more court news. Axl Rose has been denied a preliminary injunction to suppress the release of recordings by an earlier version of Guns N Roses called Hollywood Rose. The tracks appeared on an album called 'The Roots of Guns N' Roses' released by Cleopatra Records affiliate Deadline Music back in June. Hollywood Rose featured Axl, Guns guitarist Izzy Stradlin and two other musicians. Five tracks by the band were released on the 15 track album alongside 10 remixes from the likes of Tracii Guns, former GNR guitarist Gilby Clarke and Cinderella drummer Fred Coury. Rose was attempting to block the album on the basis of trademark infringement, the improper use of his name and likeness and unfair competition. No word from the Rose camp as yet regarding being refused the injunction.
